Runner Bikes

By using their feet to move the bike forward, your child doesn’t have to worry about pedaling while at the same time learning to feel the dynamics of balancing. This takes the frustration out of learning to ride a bicycle for both the child and the parent!

12" Spoked Wheels

Using a pair of mini 12" spoked wheels with pheumatic white tyres allows your child to role along with ease as well as giving them that little more comfort.

Adjustable Seat and Bars

As your child grows you have adjustable seatpost and bars to give a bigger growth period out of the bike.

Wiggle Advice

We would like to recommend that a proper 13mm ring spanner be used in the assembly of the Bobbin runner bike.

About Balance Bikes - 1-5

About Balance Bikes - 1-5 yrs

Balance Bikes are kids bikes without pedals. They are an ideal way for young children to learn to ride, learing to balance and control the bike before progressing to pedals, without ever needing stabilisers. They are perfect if you have some gentle flat and downhill stretches to help them enjoy coasting along. Young children often find hand brakes difficult to use, and are better at stopping with their feet, so set the saddle to a comfortable height to allow them to put both feet down. As they are very simple these bikes are supplied in retail boxes, normally with a small amount of self-assembly required.

About the Bobbin brand

Bobbin are interested in recapturing the magic and excitement that they all felt from riding their first bikes with the bicycles having their own personalities (and sometimes even names).
The idea that cycling doesn’t have to be sporty is very important to us. Buying a Bobbin means you can arrive at meeting, an art gallery or a date on time and in style. The bikes are beautiful, romantic machines that happen to be very practical. They have useful design features like mudguards, covered chains, hub gears and carrier racks so you can wear your everyday clothes and carry all your stuff around whilst looking effortlessly chic and unflustered.

Lovely little bike but with issues.......I decided to purchase this for my 2 year olds birthday. Overall its a beautiful little balance bike, it has a cute little bell and basket. However, the finish is quite appalling. The welding around the rear 'chainstay' is barely finished. The paint was chipped before I even took the wrapping off of it.
Now, I contacted Wiggle who responded very promptly as always, with their generic 'we are looking into it' email. 2 days later I receive another email that I can send the bike back and they will look into it further.
The problem I have is this is for my daughters birthday in 2 days time, if I send it back, when will I receive a new bike, or will the issue even be the same on another bike? It should not be sent out like that in the first place.
Bobbin don't seem interested.
I understand it is a child's bike and that it will get chipped and damaged, but not new out the box.
Personally I would try a cheaper alternative next time as I believe you are paying a premium for a bobbin, but not getting a premium product.
Other than that the product seems relatively well built and designed.
